Treasure Coast Homeless Services Council reports housing outcomes and funding pressures
Summary
Leader Remy Nuckols told the commission the regional housing hub (Adam's Place) served 166 clients with 135 successfully housed in the reporting year and described outreach, partnerships and federal NOFA changes that may force programmatic adjustments.
Remy Nuckols, leader of the Treasure Coast Homeless Services Council, updated the Fort Pierce commission on services delivered through Adam's Place and countywide coordinated-entry work.
Nuckols told commissioners that the housing hub served 166 clients during the most recent reporting period and that 135 of those individuals were successfully housed through shelter, housing navigation and rapid-rehousing supports. He described expanded street outreach, medical and behavioral-health partnerships (Hands Clinic, New Horizons, Whole Family Health and the Florida Department of Health), and a recent shift in federal NOFA priorities that may reduce the emphasis on permanent supportive housing and require program redesign.
He also said the council is the HUD-designated continuum-of-care lead for the three-county region and that the organization pursues grant funding for operations and housing interventions; Nuckols said the council expects to submit applications and seek partnerships to preserve permanent supportive housing where possible. Commissioners asked for more local data on where people counted in Fort Pierce come from and for continued coordination with county partners.
Nuckols invited commissioners to participate in the point-in-time count in late January and said the council will publish its annual figures in April.
